Having your lawn aerated in the fall is the perfect way to allow your lawn to breathe, while opening it up to receive needed fertilizer and moisture in the cooler months.
In Colorado, it is recommended to aerate twice a year (once in the spring and once in the fall). Colorado’s arid-climate creates compacted soil, which needs to be broken up for your lawn to receive proper nutrients.
Swingle uses an aerate machine to remove small cores or “plugs” of compacted soil. The aerator creates holes about 2-3 inches deep and typically no more than 4-inches apart for optimal absorption. While the cores are not the most attractive thing to see on your lawn, after mowing and watering, they will disappear – adding their nutrients back into the earth.
